Fosgate amp ratIngs

Alright, I want to find some truth to this.

I understand and agree fosgates older lines were underrated, some more than others.

What I find ridiculous is when people saw their t1ks and t1.5ks are putting more than 600 watts out than the model mark 1k, 1.5k. How underrated are they really? I'm referring to the new lines

Some of the old ones were crazy. My power elite t500.2 had a 100ah fuse and dude over 900 bridged

.

Someone got some clamp proof? If they're putting out so much more, why dont they make the 1k the 1.5k or the 1.5k the 2k?

They get the ratings like Kicker. On a test bench with a solid power source

This. They come with birth sheets.

I've heard birth sheets are inflated and only show 100hz, where power isn't shown the whole band width

Thats true.. The sheets are BS. They will do a daily rated not much more.

So these half kilowatt over ratings are only on ideal load with solid electrical and ideal conditions?

Correct. I clamped my ZX2500, BS said 2800. With my electrical it made 2200 rising to 2.35 from 2 on a 60hz tone.

Birthsheet = bs = bullshlt thanks.

Figured that birth sheets were a little over played. Hearing a true clamp number is more reliable

Sales pitch. Just like the big *** plastic boots on the punch line subs

Figured, what about the new cone design for more volume air movement? Never heard much on it, not that I'd even run em

Look at the W7. Big cone area, high excursion.. What does it move? Not much

Why they dont move air? Dont know, just know you can wall them, tune low and not get them to pull a hair trick.
